Coloradoans Struggle with Food Insecurity
State and local leaders in Colorado are working to meet the overwhelming demand for food assistance as the suspension of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) looms.
Jasmine Kendall, a 34-year-old single mom, is facing a difficult situation. She has $86 left in her bank account and is at risk of losing her subsidized housing in Denver due to a lack of federal funding.
Her life feels like a cruel word problem she’s struggling to solve — and the math is not in her favor.
Kendall works as a registered behavioral therapist, earning $21 an hour, but her housing assistance, which typically covers a portion of her $3,000 monthly rent, may be in jeopardy.
- Empty gas tank
- Empty refrigerator and freezer
- Risk of losing subsidized housing
Food banks in the area are also struggling to keep up with demand, with many stating that they "just don't have enough" to meet the needs of those in need.
